[tctctctctc-xc]

We all saw what happened on Jan. 6. Why is this BS still going

[cheribell-pt]

The American people "FIRED" him!! Enough said.

[charlesmartin]

Judge Chatkan is my hero. She may have just saved the election and with it the country.

[deborahboggs]

we have known this for years-so my question is still;whats going to be done about it -

[stevejohnson]

So what? What a disgraceful human being. 😮

[coreenkindred]

He needs to go to jail. ASAP He is a criminal. Please let’s put new justices onto the Supreme Court also.

[omelborpon]

I don't know what blows my mind more: the criminality of DJT or the stupidity of the people who are still going to vote for him.

[justsusan]

OMG!!!HOW DID HE GET AWAY WITH ALL THIS!😡

[douggilbert]

This is the first time a president has committed so many crimes, while as president. Then, for the first time, he should be made an example an sent to jail and not some cushy resort prison.👍

[CPG]

Look at the chaos one manchild and his Narcissistic Personality Disorder can inflict on the country. 🇬🇧

[drodriquequez]

The same man who claims no one can afford bacon, eggs, gas, etc., is selling $100, 000 watches! The grift is real...

[steinec]

Stop calling vance smooth talking - he's just a liar and he's becoming criminally liable as a trumpski apologist. Smooth? Oily, smug, obsequious maybe.

[bamboozled]

Anyone complaining of "election interference"..
Pro-tip: don't commit crimes 🙄

[saltyjo]

How can he be still running for president? America is pathetic. No rule of law.

[jeangleason]

Yes!yes!!! Hold him accountable finally! VOTE BLUE ALL blue 💙

[LogicPhalanx]

This election has taught us a ton about people we call friends, family and neighbors. They’ve all shown us who they really are by voting for Trump. Normally I’d just chalk it up to a difference of opinion or politics as usual but NOTHING about all of this is just difference of opinion.

[rogertulk]

Observing this as I am from another country, I cannot understand why it took so long to make a case against Trump, and he was able to start a campaign to become president. He should have been in jail years ago.

[terryt.]

Thank you Judge for posting the Smith Brief and making it available to be read by interested voters.

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent
